Coinciding with this week’s 20th annual World Breastfeeding Week, the parenthood celebration is sponsored by the Taunton-Attleboro WIC program.

This year’s parenthood event once again was held downtown in Taunton’s Liberty and Union Park.

Women, Infants and Children is a national, supplemental, nutritional program that provides lower-economic parents with referrals for fuel assistance and medical and dental care, as well as breastfeeding classes.

It also awards qualifying candidates with coupons that can be exchanged for healthy food in many supermarkets and farmers markets.
